Hulu Live TV Review 2024 | Better Value Than YouTube TV?

Hulu Live is the second most popular live TV streaming service, behind YouTube TV. And, it’s a sutiable alternative for people looking for a cable-like service without the contract.

It has roughly 90 popular cable channels, and includes Disney+ and ESPN+ in plans. For some, it represents a good value for the money.

However, at a starting price of $76.99 a month, it comes at a steep cost. Furthermore, if you only want a few channels you may find it’s possible to avoid the platform to save even more money.

Watch our Hulu Live TV review for 2024 to learn more about the platform and whether or not its high price tag is worth it.

What’s most important to you when choosing a live TV streaming service

I have Hulu live. I tried direct tv stream mostly because it offered my favorite regional sports network. I haven’t tried YouTube tv - it doesn’t have one of the channels we watch (A&E). I love all the espn content.

YouTube TV interface is much more user friendly . Hulu live content is great but it needs a major update.

When I originally switched to streaming I subscribed to Hulu with live tv, but I switched to YouTube tv because I liked the UI so much better, and I felt that they had a better channel lineup than Hulu.
Now there isn't much difference in their channel lineups since Hulu has added several channels; Fox Weather, The Weather Channel, Comet tv, Cheddar and PBS being the main ones that I care about.
I never use basic Hulu, and I get Disney Plus once or maybe twice a year, so YouTube tv winds up being the cheapest choice for me, since I would have to get the higher Hulu package without adds ( I hate adds) for $89.99 versus $72.99 for YouTube tv.
Both have gone sky high in price since I switched, but YouTube tv is still the best price fir me.

Hulu sucks backing out to main screen doesn't load at times so frustrating cancelling it again 😔

When it comes to cable tv replacement with ease, which I believe is the number one objective to satisfy one or both spouses who are being obstinate about the change, it's all about content. H-live is the winner for content. If you're a New Yorker and need SNY for the Mets there's no other choice. The big two are YTTV and H-Live. I believe the user experience and features are just not in first position. It's all about content and which covers your needs. H-live covers more. User experience and working the apps can be dealt with. When it comes to streaming, it's content, content, content. Everything else can be handled.

My issue with Hulu Live is that they dont have Marquee Sports Network to watch Chicago Cubs Games

[mikemcelwain]

Hulu sucks I've had so much trouble with it loading either through my TV or a Roku stick so frustrating goodbye to Hulu hello to YouTube TV

[bwalton]

The deal breaker for Hulu TV was the DVR. When I had it, Hulu’s DVR does not support dynamic start times. This is big for sports fans or fans of shows that happen to follow sports. Hulu’s DVR also doesn’t let you extend the end time of a recording. So for sports, forget overtime you won’t see it. If your favorite show follows a game that went into overtime then your show will start later so forget about seeing the end of the show. Your only hope is to make your own extended recording time. So always schedule recordings for an extra hour or two following any sports or following any show that happens to follow sports. What a headache.

YouTube Tv recording interface is much better than Hulu Live and Sling. To me only Fubo’s dvr interface is comparable to YouTube Tv now that Fubo just added unlimited dvr recordings 😀
